| Abstract from DBPedia | Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques. Energy is a core component of modern economies. A functioning economy requires not only labor and capital but also energy, for manufacturing processes, transportation, communication, agriculture, and more. Energy planning is more detailed than energy policy. Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.エネルギー政策（エネルギーせいさく、英:Energy policy）とは、主に政府系組織がエネルギーの生産、流通、消費を含むエネルギー開発の諸問題に対処するべく決定した方針のこと。エネルギー政策の内容には、法整備、国際条約、投資への奨励、省エネルギーに向けた指針、課税、その他の公共政策の手法が含まれる。エネルギーは現代経済の中核要素であり、製造、輸送、通信、農業などにおいて経済が機能するには、労働と資本だけでなくエネルギーも必要とされている。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Energy_policy) |
